Contribution to the green economy:

Corruption may make it difficult for a government to tackle certain interests, and thus introduce the regulation or taxation needed to advance progress to a Green Economy. It may also deter foreign investors and thus investment in a Green Economy.

Potential misinterpretation:

Is corruption declining, but trust in institutions is disturbed perseveratively?
